Greta Van Fleet are three brothers and a drummer from Frankenmuth, Michigan, who formed the band in 2012 and play hard rock as if nobody told them it was ever out of fashion. Josh Kiszka sings in a high, wailing howl, his identical twin Jake plays the guitar, brother Sam handles bass and keyboards, and Danny Wagner has been on drums since 2013.
Lava Records signed them in March 2017, and a month later came the Black Smoke Rising EP. Its opening shot, "Highway Tune", is all fuzz-toned boogie and swagger, and it spent four weeks on top of the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Active Rock charts that September. The From the Fires EP followed in November, bundling those songs with four new ones and the single "Safari Song", and it won the Grammy for Best Rock Album in 2019, when they were also up for Best New Artist.
Anthem of the Peaceful Army, their first full album, landed on October 19, 2018, and went straight to the top of the Billboard Rock Albums chart, with "When the Curtain Falls" giving them a third Mainstream Rock number one. The Battle at Garden's Gate followed in 2021 and Starcatcher in 2023, and the next one, Palace for the People, is due on October 9, 2026.
